Vertebral End Plate Perforation for Intervertebral Disc Height Preservation After Single Level Lumbar Discectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Pilot single-centre, stratified, prospective, randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group, controlled study. ⋯ The present study showed positive correlation between the volume of removed disc tissue and decrease in postoperative ISV and ISH. There were no statistically significant differences in ISV and ISH between the group with end-plate perforation and the control group six months after lumbar discectomy. Clinical outcome and disability were significantly improved in both groups three and six months after surgery.

Review Meta Analysis
How does pain lead to disability? A systematic review and meta-analysis of mediation studies in people with back and neck pain.
Disability is an important outcome from a clinical and public health perspective. However, it is unclear how disability develops in people with low back pain or neck pain. More specifically, the mechanisms by which pain leads to disability are not well understood. ⋯ We found evidence to show that self-efficacy (β = 0.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.10 to 0.34), psychological distress (β = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.18), and fear (β = 0.08, 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.14) mediated the relationship between pain and disability, but catastrophizing did not (β = 0.07, 95% CI = -0.06 to 0.19). The methodological quality of these studies was low, and we highlight potential areas for development. Nonetheless, the results suggest that there are significant mediating effects of self-efficacy, psychological distress, and fear, which underpins the direct targeting of these constructs in treatment.
